Prof. Margret Keuper is a Professor of Machine Learning at the University of Mannheim's School of Business Informatics and Mathematics, leading the Data and Web Science Group. She is also affiliated with the Max-Planck-Institute for Informatics and ELLIS (fellow since 2024). Her research focuses on robust deep learning, neural architecture search, and computer vision tasks like motion segmentation and adversarial defense. She holds a PhD from the University of Freiburg and previously held positions at the University of Siegen and the University of Mannheim. Her work spans projects funded by DFG and BMBF, including Climate Visions for social media analysis and TrackOpt for motion tracking. She teaches courses on computer vision, generative models, and reinforcement learning. She actively serves on program committees for top conferences like CVPR, ECCV, and NeurIPS, and is an associate editor for IEEE TPAMI and JAIR. Education: PhD in Computer Science from University of Freiburg (advisor: Thomas Brox) Research Projects: Learning to Sense (DFG), Climate Visions (BMBF), TrackOpt (BMBF) Key Roles: Head of Mannheim Master in Data Science Examination Board, Member of MSc Business Informatics Board Her research emphasizes robustness in AI systems, with contributions to adversarial attacks, domain generalization, and efficient solvers for large-scale problems. She advises over 15 PhD students across academic and industry partnerships.
